The rhythm of modern life is very, very high. Our life is such that there is practically no time left for rest. This problem affects absolutely all age categories, beginning from the kids of the Garden age, and ending with the pensioners. Sadiki, schools, additional classes, sections, exams, universities, work, career building and the like - all this requires a huge amount of energy from a modern person. As a result of this rhythm of life, a phenomenon such as chronic fatigue syndrome has become very widespread. Surely, everyone at least once in my life heard about this phenomenon, but not all seriously perceive this disease, not counting it as such at all. However, despite the denial, this phenomenon is very common, especially among residents of large megacities, ecologically unfavorable regions. And if a person has chronic fatigue syndrome, treatment is simply necessary for him, otherwise serious enough negative health consequences can develop, right up to the development of serious diseases.
Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue
Symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome are oftenare very different and quite vague, in addition, as a rule, they manifest themselves in the complex. Doctors distinguish several basic symptoms that appear when a person has chronic fatigue syndrome:
- A constant feeling of fatigue, occurring during three or more weeks, which does not go away even after a long and full rest, and also after a decrease in the load.
- Muscular discomfort. A sick person complains of a feeling of weakness, pain in the muscles, similar to those that arise the next day after increased physical exertion.
- Also, a person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, often complains of a significant decrease in memory and even depression
- In particularly severe cases of chronic fatigue, a sick person may have fever and a significant increase in lymph nodes that are painful enough for palpation.
- Violation of normal sleep - the appearance of both insomnia, and vice versa, increased drowsiness.
- Pain in the joints, appearing for no apparent reason.
- Constant headaches of unclear etiology.
All of the above symptoms in the absenceadequate treatment progress, but their progression is not due to the presence of concomitant somatic diseases that can cause similar symptoms. And even with a thorough clinical examination of the body doctors can not detect any deviations from the normal state, laboratory studies also do not reveal any deviations from the physiological norm. There are no pathological changes either in the blood or in the urine. On X-ray photographs, the doctor also does not notice any pathological abnormalities, nor does he have any ultrasound examination. Biochemical parameters of blood during its clinical research remain within the limits of the norm, there are no changes from the endocrine system. As a rule, people suffering from the syndrome of chronic fatigue are put either diagnoses of a neurotic reaction, or banal vegeto-vascular dystonia. Treatment, which is usually prescribed in such cases, does not bring absolutely no positive result, the condition of the sick person deteriorates rapidly, there may be significant changes in memory and psyche and even changes in the electrocardiogram. If we talk about the syndrome of chronic fatigue, the reasons must be called necessarily. And although there is no reliable, single cause of symptoms of chronic fatigue, doctors still call several provoking factors, which can cause the disease.
